In a Reading The danger: Traditional Ryder Waite reading for this card is of a broken heart, sorrow, separation and betrayal. It reminds us that dwelling in the pain of the past prevents us from moving forward in life. Obsession is a mind game we play on ourselves. Letting go of the past is necessary for us to realize new thoughts and have new experience. That said, the Three of Swords, being in the 3rd degree of the Tarot heralds an explosion of primary new ideas. The boat in this card is heading for the 4 of Swords, stability. Numerically, the 3 is an explosive, unfocused energy. Multiple Threes in a Spread: 3 threes foreshadow deception. 4 threes portend a solution will reveal itself. |
